1. An information recording and reproducing apparatus, comprising:
- a sound data storing device that stores sound data in association with time data indicating an input time of the sound data;
a writing information inputting device that includes a position designating portion that designates a position on an input area and inputs writing information;
a playback selecting device that includes a switch and a position designating portion and that outputs a playback start signal and a playback end signal of the sound data by switching of the switch;
a coordinate data detecting device that detects coordinate data of the position designated by the position designating portion of the writing information inputting device in association with times when the position is designated by the position designating portion of the writing information inputting device, and that detects coordinate data of a position designated by the position designating portion of the playback selecting device;
a writing information unit storing device that stores the coordinate data of the position designated by the writing information inputting device with the coordinate data divided according to a predetermined condition, as a writing information unit, in association with time data that indicates an input time of the writing information unit; and
a sound data playback device that starts a playback of the sound data from the sound data stored in association with the input time of the writing information unit in response to an output of the playback start signal when playback-designated coordinate data of a position designated by the position designating portion of the playback selecting device is determined to correspond with the writing information unit, and that terminates the playback in response to an output of the playback end signal.

Abstract
An information recording and reproducing apparatus provides users with an easy designation of a playback start position and a playback time. Sound data is sequentially stored in association with time data and information such as a letter and a symbol is inputted with a marker with which a user writes. When the user designates the letter or symbol with the marker, playback of the sound data recorded at an input start time of the letter or symbol is started. When the playback end is indicated using the marker, the playback of the sound data is terminated.

5. An information recording and reproducing apparatus, comprising:
-
a sound data storing device that stores sound data in association with time data indicating an input time of the sound data;
a writing information inputting device that includes a position designating portion and that is used for designating positions on an input area using the position designating portion and inputting writing information;
a playback selecting device that includes a switch and a position designating portion and that outputs a playback start signal and a playback end signal of the sound data by switching of the switch;
a coordinate data detecting device that detects coordinate data of the positions designated by the position designating portion of the writing information inputting device in association with times when the positions are designated by the position designating portion of the writing information inputting device, and that detects coordinate data of the positions designated by the position designating portion of the playback selecting device;
a writing information unit storing device that stores coordinate data of the positions designated by the writing information inputting device, with the coordinate data divided according to a predetermined condition, as a writing information unit, in association with time data, indicating an input time of the writing information unit; and
a sound data playback device that starts a playback of sound data from the sound data stored in association with the input time of a writing information unit in response to an output of the playback start signal when playback-designated coordinate data of the position designated by the position designating portion of the playback selecting device is determined to correspond with the writing information unit, wherein when the playback-designated coordinate data is determined not to correspond to a writing information unit, the sound data playback device selects an area nearby the playback-designated coordinate data, calculates a playback start time from a positional relationship between a writing information unit in the area nearby the playback-designated coordinate data and the playback-designated coordinate data and from the input time of the writing information unit, and starts a playback of the sound data from sound data stored in association with the calculated playback start time. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11)
